Transcript
Rome to the end of the
Republic (31 BC)
• Unlike previous conquests, the Roman conquest of Greece was
long-drawn and fiercely fought.
• Almost immediately after the end of the second Punic war the
Romans attacked Greece.
• King Perseus of Macedon resisted them for years
• The conquest of Greece took 50 years of almost constant
warfare, and it is a testament to the tenacity of the Romans.
• After the battle of Corinth (146 BC) the whole of the Greek
peninsula becomes Roman territory
• In the same year the Romans destroy Carthage, and thus they
complete the subjugation of their two ancient rivals for the
supremacy of the Mediterranean.

prize of supreme power.

bloody conflicts.

the first emperor of Rome
